TCU received a significant reality check Saturday in regard to its status as an NCAA Tournament participant.
The Horned Frogs, who hope to reach March Madness for the first time in 19 seasons, were hammered 70-52 by No. 6 Baylor, a team hoping to secure a top seed in this year’s tournament.
Baylor (22-3, 9-3 in Big 12) never trailed and maintained multiple leads in excess of 20 points during the second half while knocking off the Frogs (17-8, 6-6). The loss in the Ferrell Center ended TCU’s three-game winning streak against Big 12 opponents, the school’s longest in five seasons as a league member.
